Jason Wu's Lancôme collaboration

Set for Fashion Week Launch

More fashion brands are taking the path into beauty than ever before and now there's another name to add, as Jason Wu announces a collaboration with Lancôme.

The exciting new collection will be a Nordstrom exclusive and runs to 15 pieces, including three eye-shadows, a dark navy mascara and multiple red lipsticks and nail polishes (but of course).

Were expecting a mix of the classically feminine designs that Wu is known for mixed with the elegant, sleek products that we can always rely on from Lancôme, along with plenty of dressing table pieces that every girl needs.

Launching in September during New York Fashion week, the collection is sure to be a real sell-out, with industry sources estimating the first collection could do $1 million at retail in just two months.

Comments Wu: I dont know to do it any other way. I dont think I could be quiet or sit still for a minute. These projects keep me energized and one influences the next to the next  its this creative process that makes my job really fun. Ive always thought that my abilities as a designer go further than clothes.

Officially, the offering will be limited edition; however, it is likely that there could be additional ones. With Wu suggesting that hes already created a follow-up for next year, we're keeping our fingers crossed.
